CABLE CAM Services | Wilmington, NC

FEATURES

Our FlyLine Cable Cam system enables us to achieve cinematic, precision-controlled camera movement in environments where drones or car-mounted systems may not be practical or permitted. This versatile system is ideal for carrying our MōVI Pro gimbal through a wide range of challenging locations:

​

  • Forests

  • Ravines

  • Close to Water

  • Over People

  • Indoors

  • Audio-Sensitive Environments

  • Extra Close Proximity to Subjects

Motion Control

Precision and repeatability are essential in professional filmmaking, and our clients frequently rely on us for perfectly consistent camera moves. The FlyLine Cable Cam system delivers both, offering ultra-smooth control for shots that demand exact motion paths. Capable of crawling as slowly as half an inch per second or flying at speeds up to 40 mph, the system adapts seamlessly to the creative and technical needs of each production.

Our cable cam integrates advanced motion control technology, allowing us to program precise in- and out-points along the line. This not only ensures consistent, repeatable movement but also adds an extra layer of safety and protection for both the cable cam and the camera gimbal system, even in complex or high-risk environments..

STRENGTH

At VidMuze Cinema, we’re committed to delivering the highest level of safety and reliability on every production. That’s why we use only the strongest, industry-proven materials for our cable cam systems, ensuring total confidence for both our team and our clients.

Our system runs on 8mm Dyneema, a high-performance synthetic line with an impressive 12,000-pound tensile strength. Since our cable cam operates at a maximum load of just 1,500 pounds, this provides a significant safety margin, guaranteeing durability, stability, and peace of mind throughout every shoot.

Other features of Dyneema:​

  • Up to 600 ft long cable runs.

  • Very high strength to weight ratio.

  • Very high abrasion resistance.

  • 0.08% stretch rate.

  • High UV resistance.

  • Floats & does not absorb water.

ENDURANCE

Our cable cam system is powered by a 6S 22.2V LiPo battery, delivering the performance and reliability needed for demanding productions. This setup allows us to carry camera packages up to 60 pounds while maintaining speeds of up to 40 mph. The system’s high-torque DC motor is managed by a 50-amp electronic speed controller (ESC) to ensure precise motion and smooth acceleration. To maintain peak efficiency during extended operation, the system is equipped with a built-in 24V cooling fan, effectively dissipating heat and ensuring consistent, reliable performance throughout the shoot.
